looks like rendering adblockers extensions obsolete with manifest-v3 was not enough so now they try to implement DRM into the browser giving the ability to any website to refuse traffic to you if you don’t run a complaint browser ( cough…firefox )

here is an article in hacker news since i’m sure they can explain this to you better than i.

and also some github docs

    not @yoz, but it’s totally possible to avoid Google.

    iPhone, just another web mail provider, OpenStreetMaps, DuckDuckGo, and whatever else I need I host myself on my Synology.

    I use Google at work because I have to, but otherwise it stays out of my life.

      iPhone ain’t the way to go if you care about security or privacy, sadly. Buying a Pixel and putting a different OS on it is.

          Apple isn’t the way to go though, so your options are Pixels (with a different OS) or no phones if you truly care about your privacy.

            Haven’t ever suggested Apple. I’m just saying that (or anything) doesn’t justify the answer being a Pixel from Google of all companies.

            There’s lots of Linux phones going around.
